Happy Sunday!

Today is yet another beautiful day.  Yesterday went up to 80 degrees and I believe today was supposed to be cloudy, but it is sunny and warm yet again.  We didn't end up going to Philly yesterday, which was a bummer, but we decided to just drive to DC instead, and enjoy the beautiful weather since it was Eid (Iranian New Year!).

We walked all around the mall and went to my favorite museum, The Natural History Museum.  We did a quick browse in there and then walked back to the car.  My sandal ended up breaking halfway to the car and I was shit outta luck....until I bought a t-shirt and the kind man repaired my sandal with rope and a knife!  After that, I saw a protest from that group of psychopaths that hate "fags" and America, oh and God does too by the way, apparently.  I think they might have been that group that goes to soldiers funerals and protest and tell the families that their son died because there are fags in America....like I said, psychopaths.  If Dev wasn't with me, I would have walked by screaming "yay fags! I love fags!" I was heated and disgusted.  Ugh!

Anyway, we got to our car, I fed little man and we drove to Georgetown where we stood in a 30 minute line to get some (slightly overrated) Georgetown Cupcakes.  They are good, but too much icing IMO.

Today, Dev is gonna get his professional pictures done for the first time, and we will all hopefully enjoy the sun some more!  I hope your Sunday is great too!  Enjoy some pics below.

What a hip dad with Diaper Dude.

 The group that elevated my blood pressure.

My foot looks a little beat, after all that walking, but see makeshift shoe.

I can dig it.  Happy New Year!

Final destination.

Dining Out for Life

I volunteer with an organization called Food and Friends and this Thursday, the 11th, there are a bunch of restaurants participating in the area for what they call "Dine Out for Life."  Food and friends does this every year, and every year more and more restaurants participate!  On this night, 25-100% of the profit they make goes out to Food and Friends.  By dining out, you will ensure that thousands of children and adults facing cancer and other horrible illnesses will receive daily, nutritious meals.

I have delivered food to these people myself.  They are often very, very sick with diseases such as MS and AIDS, and they look forward to not only these great meals that the volunteers put together, but also just being able to chit chat for a few minutes with someone (the driver), since they rarely get to get out. It's just so amazing to see that spark of happiness in their eyes.  I really, really love this organization and volunteering with them when I can.

So, if you eat out once in a while, get Starbucks every morning, or you just bought designer shoes, or even McDonalds after a night of drinking, there's no excuse; You can (and should) find some loose change and get some people together to go dine out for a great cause!

I haven't decided on a place yet, but you can click here to search for restaurants, or to donate some money money monnneeey (mooonneey) if you can't make it. Please do it, Devin is begging.  How can you say no to this face???
